Movie Trivia
• Nominated for two Oscars.
• Honeydukes "is floor-to-ceiling psychedelia" and includes Mexican skulls made of sugar. The cast was told that the Honeydukes candy was lacquer-coated, when in fact it wasn't, to prevent candy from disappearing between takes.
• Illusionist Paul Kieve served as a consultant. He taught magic to several members of the cast including Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson (Harry and Hermione) and worked extensively to create physical magical effects. He is the first illusionist to have worked on any of the series of films. He is also to make a cameo appearance in the film in a scene in the Three Broomsticks pub.
• Filming was halted following the vandalization of the train used as the Hogwarts Express.
• The set for Honeydukes was previously used as Olivander's Wand Shop in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), and Flourish and Blotts in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
• Alfonso Cuarón had never read the Harry Potter books or seen the first two movies when he was offered the job of director.
• Broke UK box office records when it grossed £5.3 million in its opening day of release on 31 May 2004, making it the biggest opening day and single day of all time.
• When Harry, Hermione and Ron are returning to the school from Hagrid's hut after witnessing Buckbeak's execution, Hermione hugs Ron and Harry hugs Hermione, a reference to Alfonso Cuarón's movie "Y tu mamá también".
• Prior to its release, material related to the film was labeled with the code title "Radiator Blues".
• Shot entirely on wide-angle lenses. The length of the lenses ranged between 14-24mm and never beyond that. Alfonso Cuarón insisted on the wide-angles because he wanted to let the audience see the foreground and the background.
• Much of the filming was done in Scotland, so the filmmakers wanted to be sure that a Highland Cow, a breed of cattle native to Scotland, appeared in the film. The large, hairy animal with big horns can be seen in front of a shop in Hogsmeade when Ron and Hermione go and look for Harry after he leaves the pub.
• A clause in Alfonso Cuarón's contract forbade the director from cursing in front of the kids on set.
• In order to acquaint himself with his three lead actors, director Alfonso Cuarón had each of them write an essay about their characters, from a first-person point of view. Emma Watson, in true Hermione fashion, went a little overboard and wrote a 16-page essay. Daniel Radcliffe wrote a simple one-page summary, and Rupert Grint never even turned his in.
• The first Warner Bros. movie - as well as the first Harry Potter film - to be released in IMAX.
• The third of eight movies based on the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling.
